Another grey but still and warm day. Its been a better than average autumn swim season so far. However the waves on the beach were bigger than expected. The long roller types with strong pullback. This makes us all cautious and KH sensibly decides to sit this one out. A and I however run in like true addicts. The water is grey and churned but only cool, not bad for mid November. As always the euphoria of being in the water and the views outweigh everything.
As we are coming back to shore I see the smartly dressed MG arrive straight from work - and horror of horrors, joins KH sitting on the beach! After trying to get out of the sea I could see she was being wise. The pullback was strongest I have known for a while and I had to run out after a wave and get up the beach before the following wave arrived. Not that difficult but a good reminder to be careful round here. A seemed to have no problems however so maybe I was being a bit paranoid?
A quick change and barely even a shiver. Long may this mild weather continue!
